In this project we implemented general framework for mapping Brook stencils to KernelC code for 1D and 2D streams. Access pattern to stream elements described by Brook stencil is used as an input to a Perl script, which generates KernelC code. This code contains a kernel that reads stream elements, communicates them between clusters according to access pattern, and does all state bookkeeping. T...

I point out in this paper that the inscription ‘art’ is a homonym. Primarily, it names the category of memetic innovation, illustrations of which are encountered in every cultural domain. Thus, art may be—but is not necessarily—encountered in the artworld, where the makers of works of art use a different word with the same spelling to name a class of artefacts. I explain memetic innovation and ...

Ž . Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss of initial average weight 150 g and brook trout Ž . SalÕelinus fontinalis initially weighing 124 g on average, were reared at different growth rates Ž . Ž . by feeding either a high H, close to satiation or low L, half of H ration of a commercial diet. Fish were reared for 6 to 15 weeks in order to reach same size class. Fast growth increased whole Ž . Ž . ...

Levels and patterns of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation were examined to investigate the population structure and possible routes of postglacial recolonization of the world's northernmost native populations of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), which are found in Labrador, Canada. We analyzed the sequence diversity of a 1960-bp portion of the mitochondrial genome (NADH dehydrogenase ...

--In the southern Appalachian Mountains, native brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis and introduced rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and brown trout Salmo trutta are at the southern extremes of their distributions, an often overlooked kind of marginal habitat. At a regional scale composed of the states of Virginia and North Carolina, species were found to be distributed along latitudinal and elev...

—Invasions of nonnative species are a leading cause of the loss of populations of cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki in the western United States, but effective control of invasions of species such as brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis are expensive, labor intensive, and not species specific. Because salmonids respond to chemical cues, we hypothesized that pheromonal attraction could be exploit...

—We collected invertebrate drift samples and stomach contents of native Bonneville cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki utah and nonnative brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis in Beaver Creek, Idaho, during August 1995 to assess food availability and the potential for competition. Regardless of whether samples came from beaver pond or from high-gradient or low-gradient reaches, aquatic Diptera nume...
